HENNA — the flowering shrub whose cream-white clusters are heavily scented and whose crushed leaves dye skin orange-red (the KJV's 'camphire'). ⚠ It is spelled identically to a completely different word, kopher, RANSOM — the price paid to redeem a life (Exodus 21:30; Numbers 35:31), from the root behind kippur, atonement. Same consonants, unrelated senses; this translation keeps them apart, and the reader should not hear the second one in En-gedi. → first discussed at Song of Solomon 1:14
